“Stop using the US dollar”. Bolivian President was straight up in a statement to RT. Luis Arce urged countries to "stop using the US dollar" and instead put their trust in "own currencies." This is a very powerful signal beyond economic rhetoric, a signal flare in the escalating global discontent with America’s financial dominance.
The U.S. dollar has long functioned as the world’s reserve currency, giving Washington enormous influence over global trade, finance, and geopolitics. But that dominance has come at a cost, especially for emerging economies. Nations like Bolivia have repeatedly faced economic shockwaves sparked by U.S. interest rate hikes, dollar shortages, or sanctions regimes weaponising the dollar-based system.
Arce’s comments come amid a wider push for de-dollarisation, a movement gaining steam across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. BRICS nations are already exploring alternatives, and trade agreements are increasingly being denominated in yuan, rubles, or local currencies. The message is gaining momentum that dependency on the dollar leaves nations vulnerable to U.S. policy decisions that may not align with their own economic interests.
For Bolivia, a country rich in lithium and other strategic resources, moving away from the dollar could be as much a political statement as it is an economic strategy.
Arce’s call is nolonger isolated as it reflects a shifting global mood that the post-WWII financial order is being questioned, and the dollar is no longer untouchable. What we are witnessing is growing global discontent and fight to reclaim sovereignty, both financial and geopolitical
Whether this leads to actual policy shifts remains to be seen. The rules based order is being questioned, the era of unquestioned dollar supremacy is under pressure, and the world is not just watching anymore. Sadly it is the American public that will soon discover, their dominance only benefitted a few crony individuals.
